Modern Tales in Bamboo Craft (2019)
Navika (नविका) : Sanskrit/Nepali word meaning"new" or "fresh"
Navika reimagines the traditional bamboo strip jewelry craft of South and East India through the lens of youth culture and contemporary fashion. Often overlooked in the modern market, this craft—rooted in rural artisan practices—is revitalized with playful and simple designs like hearts, flowers, and geometric shapes. Made with younger consumers in smaller towns in mind, the developed designs embraces trend-inspired forms that feel accessible and current.
By redefining traditional processes, exploring new forms, and experimenting with organic materials and non-toxic dyes, the explorations repositions bamboo sliver jewellery in a fresh relevance.
